Any RHD Enzo's?

No. All are LHD, even those sold to RHD countries.

RHD Ferraris are generally sold in the UK, Australia etc. (i.e. RHD countries). Japan is a RHD country but, for some reason, Japanese model Ferraris are LHD. Apparently it is some sort of status thing to drive a LHD car in Japan. A number of early Ferraris were RHD, supposedly because it gave better weight distribution for racing on mostly clockwise circuits. These cars are now in collections all over the world.

I believe they don't for the limited edition models like the Enzo because it would involve significant extra engineering costs. Maybe extra work for type approval etc., but I don't know about that. Same with F40 and F50, except that there you sometimes get someone like the Sultan of Brunei who want's RHD and will pay for it!

they built rhd stradles and F512M they are a LTD edition car

 

But they already had rhd platforms left over from their predecessors, eg the 360

 

Well, the Stradale is just a variation on the 360, so no re-engineering would be required. Besides it wasn't limited in that they didn't make a specific number. Likewise, the F512M is a variation of 512TR which was already engineered for RHD.

well i have run of of crap & bull**** to answer so thats one to you but if i join the FOC that will boost my crap & bull**** status so watch out

 

Ha ha. I thought you had an inexhaustible supply

 

WTF is RHD and LHD ???

 

Righthand drive and Lefthand drive. Do keep up

 

ow yeah thnx

 

Making both RHD and LHD at the factory is not very expensive for most cars. If Lotus does it, you KNOW it's not expensive! But an Enzo being such a unique design, that may not be the case. BTW, I was under the impression that one of those 'driving on the left' countries has a law that LHD cars are illegal....is that Australia?

Ken,
Lotus are based in England so it wouldn't go down too well if they didn't make cars to fit UK market requirements! I don't know what the economics are and one might say that since Ferrari can sell all the run of Enzos without making a righthand drive version, why bother.

I think you are right about Australia (and New Zealand, I think). Although at least one Enzo has been sold to Oz, just can't be driven on the road. A bit of a daft law IMHO as I have a LHD Ferrari in the UK and it doesn't make any difference to the insurance. And they'd soon hit you if accidents were more likely with lefthand drive.

Jonathan

 

The Enzo in New Zealand is LHD. The owner can't register a new LHD car here but found some way around it so he could drive it on the open road.

 

So in the USA, I take it that your free to drive around in RHD cars?

 

Hi im in Australia, the reason ferrari dont' make that many super ferrari RHD is the lack of buying power in Australia & NZ, its not the money its the lack of population, we were sheep we followed the stupid UK setup of driving on the wrongside of the road.
Hence we pay twice the amount to buy a ferrari here than in the USA. It would cost ferrari a fortune to make the change on the off chance we may buy 2 Enzo's Australia wide. Then find we can't get the damm things registered beacuse of our stupid pollution & emission laws. The 2 Enzo's and several F40 & F50's that are here are all LHD, you can purchase a special driving pass from the Gov motoring body which alows you to drive the car (restrictions apply).
Older cars say more than 20 years of age can be registered even if they are LHD in certain states. We are seeing a lot of USA mustangs & corvettes being imported from the usa in the last 5 years since the laws changed. If only we wern't motoring sheep and followed the yanks, All our cars would be so cheap to buy. Id have at least 3 ferraris as opposted to 1. Other countries that are RHD Malaysia, Singapore, NZ, Sth Africa & Japan.

simple solution: build it like the McLaren F1, thus in the middle and the only continent it cant be driven legally is mmmmmmmm....Antartica!

 

"JUST A VARIATION"

Jonathon sit at the back of the class please , thats not what Ferrari says my friend...the cheek of it!!!


Ive never seen a RHD Enzo yet ???

 

512M=regular production model for a couple years, not limited.

 

Dont quote me, but I think he brought it to the UK, put a certain amount of miles on in - I'm thinking 1000 - then imported it to NZ as a used vehicle......

As I say, dont quote me on that.

 

i have seen one of the Enzo here in Aus, have spoken to the guys who are selling it, the car cannot be drive here as its LHD, and is only Ideal for
Track use.
$1.5 mil for an track car, yeah cool right?

 

yeah thats exactly what the ad says - but as we've learnt from guys like Gil (F40) there are ways around it.

 

but still even if you cant drive the car, just drive it, what can the police do? At the most Fine you!! You have to take the car for a breather!

 

You are not telling me that the ONLY (or perhaps one of the 'main reasons') reason Ferrari do not make RHD super Ferraris is soley because Australia is a RHD country are you?
